Application med June 1, 1912. Serial No. 790,8151..

yBe it known that I, 'ELY A. STACY, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, resid-l lng .at New York, .in the .county of New 'York andState of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in.a

Gombination Barrette and Comb, of which the following is a specication.

My invention relates to improvements in barrettes, hair combs, orornaments for insertions into the hair.

The object of my invention is to 4provide a comb which is formed of asingle iece of material, such as Celluloid, viscoloi horn,

With the foregoing andother objects in view, the invention consists inthe details of construction and in the arrangements and combination ofparts to be hereinafter more fully set forth and described.

In describing the invention in detail, reference will be had to theaccompanying drawing forming part of 'this specication, wherein likecharacters denote correspondf ing parts in the several views, and inwhichv Figure 1 is a front view showing a comb in combination with abarrette. Fig. 2 1s a rear view of the barrette removed from the comb..Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing the pin pivot and fastener forsecuring the barrette to the comb, and, Fig. 4 shows the top portion ofthe comb with the barrette removed.

Refe to the drawing, -1 indicates the solid or bo y portion of the comband 2the teeth which are formed integral therewith.

The body portion, I provide with apertures 3 and 4. It is to be notedthat the aperture 4 is of greater dimensions than the aperture "3; thereason for making the aperture of different dimensions will behereinafter more fully explained. The 'ornamental part @5 erplate of thevbarrette I provide with an yomnainental design, here shown as approximately diamond shaped figures and having ornamental rowsof settingsformings which-intersect the diamond ligures, dn not desire to limit myinvention to such particular design as any ornamental and appropriatedesign for a hair ornament may be used. I form a projection @integralwith the ornamental plate of the barrette which is provided withapertures in the end thereof and through which I run the pin 7. The in'K is formed with two arms as shown Iin Fig. 2. On the opposite end ofthe plate I provide a projection 8, having a hooked end portion underwhich the ends of the pin are secured. The pin points extend beyond thefasteninf` hooks in order that thel end may lie against the innersurface ofthe comb and thus prevent possible injury to the wearer nuesut I by the points of the pin. The projection 6 to which the pin isconnected is of larger ldimensions than the projection forming thefastening for the pin in order that it provide a strong securing meansand to accommodate the size of the projection, the aperture 4 is of alarger size than the aperture 3 in the comb.

In connecting the barrette to the' comb, the pin is placed at rightangle to the ornamental plate and the ends drawn through the aperture 4until the inner surface of the plate comes in contact with the outersurface of the comb when the pin is brought into a closed position andthe fastening means are insertedthrough the projection 3 whereupon theend may be secured beneath the hook shaped ends and the barrette issecurely attached to the comb.

The improved barrette and comb combined as herein set forth providesmeans for effectively holding various ornamental barrettes that may' beWorn in combination with a comb and the same be exposed while the tinesof the comb are inserted into the hair of the wearer.

The construction, combination and arrangements together withitsadvantages, itl

is thought will be understood from the foregoing description, it beingnoted that various changes maybe made in the proportions and details ofconstruction without departing from the scope of my invention as definedby the appended claims.

Having fully described my invention,

1. The combination of a barrette having' projections formed therewith,of a comb provided with apertures adapted to receive saidl projectionsand a pin suitably secured 1 to one of the projections and adapted 'tointerlock with the other pro] ection whereby the barrette is secured tothe comb.

2. The combinationV of a comb having a, plain top portion provided withapertures, of a barrette having, project-ions extending throughsaidapertures in said top portion i of aA comb and a pin pivotallyconnected to one projection and adapted to be retained in 15 ELY A.'suor Witnesses ELsIm SCHILLING, ROSE I-IoBowrrz.
